Why is there a need to innovate healthcare'? The basic reason stems from the sheer scale of the challenges now facing healthcare provision in the UK and across many other countries. The aim of this book is to interrogate past and current attempts to innovate in this arena and to draw-out the key lessons. Innovating Healthcare: The Role of Political, Managerial and Clinical Leadership presents the latest state of knowledge based on original data from a series of NIHR-funded research projects set in the context of a review of extensive secondary research. The book draws upon first-person verbatim accounts of change attempts made by doctors and other clinicians as well as upon research findings about the roles played by policy-makers and managers. The analysis draws upon theory and practice in leadership, innovation and institution-building. The mutually-reinforcing contributions of political, managerial and clinical leadership are at the core of the investigative narrative. This book will be of interest to students and researchers, clinicians and managers in the health and care sectors as well as policy-makers. While the focus in on healthcare, the book has wider relevance for students of management, leadership, innovation and organizational studies.

One of Canada's preeminent social thinkers, John Ralston Saul, begins the book with a harsh reminder that public policy can be successful only when driven by the humanistic principles which fueled its formulation. Once saving money becomes a goal in itself, rather than "something we do on the side," public policy has little chance of survival. In subsequent chapters introducing the five key areas, Dr. Richard Cruess (McGill) and Dr. Sylvia Cruess (McGill) write on the physician's role in society; the Honourable Bob Rae tackles the political challenges of health care in the consumer era; Professor Raisa Deber (Toronto) looks at the rightful place of economics in health policy; Sister Nuala Kenny (Dalhousie) examines the ethical dilemmas we face; and Professor Bernard Dickens (Toronto) describes how current health care issues are perceived by the law. Other contributors represent a "who's who" of Canada's most highly recognized academics, professionals, and policy-makers. Also writing on clinical practice are Pat Kelly (PISCES), Dr. Terrence Montague (Merck Frosst), and Dr. Hugh Scully (Cardiac Care Network). The Honourable Monique Bégin, Mark Wainberg (International AIDS Society), and Rev. Lois Wilson (Senator, Canadian Parliament) write on politics. Nathalie St. Pierre (Fédération Nationale des Associations des Consommateurs du Québec), Devidas Menon (Institute of Pharmaco-Economics), and Dr. John Wade (Former Deputy Minister of Health, Manitoba) discuss economics. Tim Caufield (Alberta), Maurice McGregor (McGill), and Lesley Degner (St. Boniface Research Centre) consider ethical issues. Marcia Rioux (Roeher Institute), Jamie Cameron (York), and Henry Dinsdale (Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons) deal with the law. Do We Care? is a must-read for anyone involved in decision-making about the future of Canadian health care -- and for all of us who are affected by these decisions. Do We Care? is the result of a conference entitled "Directions for Canadian Health Care: A Framework for Sound Decisions" which was held in Toronto in October of 1998.

Bis ins 20. Jahrhundert gab es in Europa Bordelle, in denen Prostitution staatlich toleriert und kontrolliert wurde. Die Studie untersucht, welche Argumente und Faktoren in den Parlamenten Deutschlands, Frankreichs und Italiens den Ausschlag gaben, um dieses System abzuschaffen. Historisch relevant ist eine Untersuchung dieser Gesetzesdebatten, da in ihnen ein Mentalitätswandel sichtbar wird. Neben hygienischen, moralischen und menschenrechtlichen standen sozial-, außen- und sicherheitspolitische Aspekte zur Diskussion. Nicht allein die Hierarchie zwischen den Geschlechtern wurde hinterfragt, sondern auch die innerhalb der Klassengesellschaft. Dass das Thema so delikat ist, erweist sich dabei als Vorteil; die parlamentarischen Debatten förderten Argumente und Denkweisen zutage, die sonst nicht ausgesprochen wurden, geschweige denn protokolliert. Methodische Relevanz kommt der Studie zu, weil über den Sinn transnationaler und vergleichender Geschichtsschreibung zwar viel theoretisch reflektiert wurde, es aber an sachgerecht abgegrenzten, quellengestützten empirischen Studien weiterhin mangelt. König leistet dem Abhilfe, indem er demonstriert, wie weit der historische Vergleich tragen kann, wenn er konsequent durchgeführt wird.

Health care costs in the United States are much higher than in other countries. These cost differences can be explained in part by a lack of competition in the United States. Some markets, such as pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, have elements of monopoly. Other markets, such as health insurance, have elements of monopsony. Many other markets may be subject to collusion on prices, such as generic drugs, or wages, such as the nurse labor market. Lawful monopoly and monopsony are beyond the reach of antitrust laws, but collusion is not. When appropriate, vigorous antitrust enforcement challenging anticompetitive conduct can aid in reducing health care costs. This book addresses monopoly, monopsony, cartels of sellers and buyers, horizontal and vertical merger policy, and antitrust enforcement through private suits as well as the efforts of the antitrust Agencies. The authors demonstrate how enforcing antitrust laws can ultimately promote competition and reduce health care costs.

Le système français de santé est contesté. Inquiets devant l'annonce des dépenses qu'il entraîne, les citoyens sont désemparés face à la complexité des problèmes et la multiplicité des solutions proposées. Cet ouvrage a pour objet d'expliquer, de suggérer, d'éviter les partis pris. À côté des facteurs économiques auxquels on songe toujours, il fait apparaître, par exemple dans l'analyse de la demande de soins, le rôle des variables démographiques et culturelles. Le livre insiste aussi sur la manière dont se forment les coûts, une place particulière étant accordée aux comportements des acteurs et aux difficultés du contrôle. L'étude examine également la tarification dans les secteurs privés et publics, et la question du financement, la préférence étant donnée à une fiscalisation partielle des dépenses. Dénonçant enfin le caractère inadapté de certains projets de réforme, elle met l'accent sur l'intérêt de l'application des méthodes économiques, application à laquelle pendant trop longtemps la santé a échappé.
